Madden NFL 15 Demo Exclusive to EA Early Access on Xbox One

There will be no public demo for Madden NFL 15 before its Aug. 26 release, only early access for Xbox One owners subscribing to EA Access, an EA spokesperson told IGN.

"The difficult decision not to do a demo for Madden was strictly a result of the team's commitment to deliver the highest quality game possible," EA said. "We chose to put 100% of our development resources toward the full game."

Sony passed on EA Access, as the company felt the service doesn't offer "good value." But those who subscribe to it will have early access to upcoming titles like NHL 15, NBA Live 15, FIFA 15 and Dragon Age: Inquisition. After the news that Madden NFL 15 won't have a public demo for all platforms, this may point to a similar pattern for EA's other upcoming titles.
